Apply Less. Win More.

In partnership with

Hey,

Let me guess…

You’ve applied to so many roles that:

• You can’t remember which companies you already applied to

• You have no idea when or what to follow up on

• You’re not even sure if your job hunt is going anywhere

If that’s you — you're not alone. 😬

Most students apply like they’re on autopilot: job link → quick apply → close tab → repeat.
But when you ask them things like:

…they freeze.

Here’s the truth:

They apply once. Never follow up. Forget about it.
And then wonder why they’re stuck.

🧭 Why You Need a Job Hunt Tracker

If you treat your job search like a messy to-do list in your head, it will stay messy.

But if you treat it like a project — with structure, clarity, and feedback — you'll start seeing actual progress. 🚀

A good tracker helps you:

• Stay consistent

• Know exactly what to do every week

• Avoid applying to the same company twice

• Systematically follow up

• Spot what’s working (and what’s not)

It turns your chaos into a dashboard.
It helps you stop guessing and start managing.

Let me show you how to build one — super simply — in Notion.

🧱 What to Track (Don’t Overcomplicate It)

Here’s a lean structure that works incredibly well:

⚙️ How to Build It in Notion (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Create a New Table

• Open Notion → click “New Page”

• Choose “Table – Full Page”

• Name it “Job Applications Tracker” (or anything you like)

Step 2: Add Columns

Use these properties:

• Text: for Company, Role, Resume Version

• Select: for Status (color-coded: e.g. Applied = yellow, Interview = blue)

• Date: for Application Date & Follow-Up

• URL: for job links

• People or Email/Text: for HR contacts

• Multi-line Text: for Notes/Responses

Step 3: Create Custom Views

Create filters to simplify what you’re seeing:

• All Jobs

• Pending Follow-ups → filter where Follow-Up Date is in next 7 days

• Interviews → filter Status = “Interviewing”

• Ghosted → filter Status = “No Reply After 7 Days”

Step 4: Add Templates Inside Rows

Click on a job entry → create a page template inside that entry.
Include:

• The full job description

• Why you applied

• Questions to ask in interview

• Notes from calls or replies

🗂️ This makes every job a mini “case file.”

🧠 Bonus Pro Tips Most People Miss

• Tag job type (Internship / Full-Time) so you can sort faster

• Create your own status pipeline like:
  Shortlisted → Interview Scheduled → Offer → Accepted

• Add a checkbox for "Followed Up?"

• Every Sunday: Review your tracker → send follow-ups → update statuses

This system will force you to. ✅
